Brain bank finds 96% of deceased NFL players with brain disease

Time -The brains of 96% of deceased NFL players showed signs of a degenerative brain disease, according to a study by the nation’s largest brain bank. The Department of Veterans Affairs’ brain repository in Massachusetts, a collaboration between VA and Boston University’s CTE Center, found that the instance of chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a brain condition that causes dementia and other cognitive problems, was so high that it doubled the number of CTE cases previously reported by the institution, PBS reported.
